“You cannot evade the issue of God, whether you talk about pigs or the binomial theory, you are still talking about Him. Now if Christianity be… a fragment of metaphysical nonsense invented by a few people, then, of course, defending it will simply mean talking that metaphysical nonsense over and over again. But if Christianity should happen to be true – that is to say, if its God is the real God of the universe – then defending it may mean talking about anything or everything. Things can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is false, but nothing can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is true.”

G.K. Chesterton in Daily News December 12, 1903 , quoted in Dale Ahlquist and Peter Floriani Chesterton University Student Handbook

In my latest National Post column I say that politicians and voters need to make a New Year’s resolution to think about why bad things are happening and how to stop or reduce them instead of just wishing them away.

“Experience teaches us that nothing stands so much in the way of developing great philosophers as the custom of supporting mediocre ones in state universities…. No state would ever dare to patronize such men as Plato and Schopenhauer… The state is always afraid of them.”

Friedrich Nietzsche, “Schopenhauer as Educator” quoted in Will Durant The Story of Philosophy
